The STAFF-DWP wave instrument on board the equatorial spacecraft (TC1) of the
Double Star Project consists of a combination of 2 instruments which are a
heritage of the Cluster mission: the Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Field
Fluctuations (STAFF) experiment and the Digital Wave-Processing experiment
(DWP). On DSP-TC1 STAFF consists of a three-axis search coil magnetometer, used to
measure magnetic fluctuations at frequencies up to 4 kHz and a waveform
unit, up to 10 Hz, plus snapshots up to 180 Hz. DWP provides several onboard
analysis tools: a complex FFT to fully characterise electromagnetic waves in
the frequency range 10 Hz-4 kHz, a particle correlator linked to the PEACE
electron experiment, and compression of the STAFF waveform data. The
complementary Cluster and TC1 orbits, together with the similarity of the
instruments, permits new multi-point studies. The first results show the
capabilities of the experiment, with examples in the different regions of
the magnetosphere-solar wind system that have been encountered by DSP-TC1 at
the beginning of its operational phase. An overview of the different kinds
of electromagnetic waves observed on the dayside from perigee to apogee is
given, including the different whistler mode waves (hiss, chorus, lion
roars) and broad-band ULF emissions. The polarisation and propagation
characteristics of intense waves in the vicinity of a bow shock crossing are
